Low-Dimensional Spin Systems: Hidden Symmetries, Conformal Field Theories and Numerical Checks

C. Degli Esposti Boschi, Elisa Ercolessi, G. Morandi

Published Dec 17, 2005• 1 citation
Publisher

Abstract

We review here some general properties of antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chains, emphasizing and discussing the rôle of hidden symmetries in the classification of the various phases of the models. We present also some recent results that have been obtained with a combined use of Conformal Field Theory and of numerical Density Matrix Renormalization Group techniques.

Magnetic and Critical Properties of Alternating Spin Heisenberg Chain in a Magnetic Field

Tetsuji Kuramoto

We study magnetic and critical properties of the alternating spin antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain with $S=1/2$ and 1 in a magnetic field at T=0. The numerical diagonalization is applied to the system up to $2N=20$ sites. Checking numerically that magnetic states with the magnetization per site $m$ obey a conformal field theory with conformal anomaly $c=1$ for $1/4

Critical behaviour of spin-s Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chains: analytic and numerical results

Ian K. Affleck, Doron Gepner, Heinz J. Schulz +1 more

A general phase diagram for isotropic antiferromagnetic chains has been proposed recently, using conformal field theory. This is developed further to predict the spectrum of finite chains, including logarithmic corrections. These predictions are tested against Bethe ansatz and exact diagonalisation results for various Hamiltonians with s=1/2, 1 and 3/2. Logarithmic corrections to correlation functions and the scaling of gaps for infinite systems are also given.

A Density-Matrix Renormalization Group Study of Quantum Spin Models with Ring Exchange

Alexander H. L. Chan

In this thesis we discuss in detail the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) for simulating low-energy properties of quantum spin models. We implement an original DMRG routine on the S=1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain and benchmark its efficiency against exact results (energies, correlation functions, etc.) as well as conformal field-theoretical calculations due to finite-size scaling (ground-state energy and spin gap logarithmic corrections). Moreover, we apply the DMRG to a two-leg square ladder system, where in addition to bilinear exchange terms, we also consider an additional cyclic four-spin ring-exchange. The transposition of four spins gives rise to biquadratic exchange terms which are non-trivial to implement in the DMRG. Intermediate results of the ring-exchange are presented along with the difficulties presently encountered.

Density-matrix renormalization-group simulation of the SU(3) antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model

M. Aguado, M. Asorey, Elisa Ercolessi +2 more

We analyze the antiferromagnetic $\mathit{SU}(3)$ Heisenberg chain by means of the density-matrix renormalization group. The results confirm that the model is critical and the computation of its central charge and the scaling dimensions of the first-excited states show that the underlying low-energy conformal field theory is the $\mathit{SU}{(3)}_{1}$ Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten model.

An introduction to numerical methods in low-dimensional quantum systems

André Luiz Malvezzi

This is an introductory course to the Lanczos Method and Density Matrix Renormalization Group Algorithms (DMRG), two among the leading numerical techniques applied in studies of low-dimensional quantum models. The idea of studying the models on clusters of a finite size in order to extract their physical properties is briefly discussed. The important role played by the model symmetries is also examined. Special emphasis is given to the DMRG.
